Overview
Defensive Grip is a Season 28 Basic grip for the Sword hilt. It channels a paracausal grip on the hilt to bolster defense and keeps block up for longer.
It is available only on the Praxic Blade, an Exotic sword from the Praxic Order first introduced in Renegades.
Comparison
The blade's other grip option is Balanced Grip, which balances defense and attack. Choose Defensive Grip when holding guard for longer matters more than attacking from it.
